Excerpt from On Phthisis and the Supposed Influence of Climate: Being an Analysis of Statistics of Consumption in This Part of Australia
"The fact is, that at all these sanitaria, a great amount of capital has been spent, and the doctors and people connected with each individual place find very good scientific reasons for pronouncing their own locality and elevations, the one that offers the best conditions for chronic disease in general, and for pulmonary disease in particular.
"These one-sided views are often, if not generally, entertained and defended in perfect good faith, the concentration of thought on one locality warping the judgment. In science, however, we must learn to make allowance for local partiality, and try to be guided by purely scientific reasoning."
